Hundred Pounds Was Paid Farmers (Sw D. Bandy, Sales Supervisor) The Farmville Tobacco Market has been moving- along at a steady pace for the past week and made one of the highest daily 'averages on Mon day of this week that has been made ?n any market this year. As a mat ter of record it is believed to be a record for the year for the Eastern Carolina Belt. The entire sales on the warehouse floors on Monday averaged (59.40 per hundred. A great number of fanners are aver aging $66.00 per hundred on daily sales. For the week ending October 4, the market sold 2,731,424 pounds for (1,657,109.80, for an official average of (67.00 per hundred. The official average tot the Eastern Carolina Belt during the same period was (64.66 which means that the Farm ville market is averaging each day about (2.60 per hundred more than the Belt average. > On Monday of this week 554,394 pounds were sold for (329,340.09 for an average of (69.40 per hundred; Tuesday's sales amounted to 520,518 pounds for (298,317.42, an average of (67.31 per hundred; Wednesday's sales amounted to 446,170 pounds for (242,604.26, an average of (64.40 per hundred. Through Wednesday of this week 19,628,250 pounds of tobac co had been sold for (10,340,241.91 for a season average of (52.70 per hundred. ^ It is estimated that Friday's sales this week will puf the poundage to approximately 21,000,000 or approxi mately 70 per cent of the goal of 30,000,000 pounds. Farmville continues its fine repu tation as "The Steadiest Market in the State" and when better sales a he made they will be made in Farmville. Cotton Considered Still A Good Bet Baleigh, Oct. 10.?Cotton, still king and present crop title-holder of all the South, imbued with resurgent ?pint and stimulated by terrific de mand, again came through as was predicted and soared to the 26-year high of more than 38 cents a pound on the nation's ten leading spot mar kets, John Winfield, market newsman for the N. C. Department of Agricul ture, reports. Not since the early 1#20'- and the lush" days following the first World War has cotton been worth so much money. The good news is enhanced still more by the fact" that North Caro lina has an indicated yield this year of 490,000 bailee of qotton which is 78,000 more than the year before. The yield of lint per acre is also in dicated as being higher than it was in 1945 when the State average was 369 pounds of lint per acre harvest ad. This year it is estimated by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics that 412 pounds of lint will be the average per acre. Total value of the 1945 crop amounted to 166,648,000, 'induing both lint and seed. If present prices held up as expected, said Winfield, this year's crop value could con ceivably reach^100,000,000 due to higher yield of lint per acre. Cinners are prepared to meet every fanner's requirements for ginning, according to State it specialist, on new the job.

What about the nltroger. situation for next year? Ana: According to the latest re ports, the total U. S. Supply of nitro gen will be jnst about the same for the 1946-47 season as for the past year, if production goals are' met Theto will probably be leas sulphate of ammonia, slightly more nitrogen solutions, and an increase in ammon ium nitrate. Imports of nitrogen from Chile will be about the same, while imports from Canada will be smaller. Last year the nitrogen industry, in spite of many difficulties, exceeded its 1945-46 production goal by 26*000 tofts. The total amount of nitrogen for U.
